Four daily newspaper journalists have been jailed in Jordan. Taher Adwan, editor of Al-Arab al-Yawm, and Osama Sharif, editor of Ad Dustour , were sentenced to three months along with their reporters, Sahar Qassem and Fayez Louzi. They were sued for libel over articles published in 2006. The Jordan Press Association called on the government to abolish prison sentences for journalists. (Via Jordan Times)
